Parlons! With a partner, see how good you are with numbers. Each of you receives 25 points
at the beginning. Whenever either of you makes a mistake counting, subtract one point.
To begin, you start counting from zero and then suddenly stop. Your partner must
continue counting and then he or she may stop at any time. You should be quick enough
to pick up where your partner leaves off. Continue counting and alternating until you
reach 50 or another previously designated number. The player with more points at the
end wins.

Parlons! Who wears what and where? Begin by thinking of five occupations in French
from Unit 8.
Step 1: As you say the name of each occupation, your partner will say one item of work
clothing typically worn by that person. You keep track of how many of your partners
answers are correct.
You: charpentier
Your partner: chaussures
(This is a correct response, so your partner earns one point. If he answered jupe, that
would be incorrect and he/she would not earn a point.)

Step 2: Next, your partner says five articles of clothing. You must respond with a place
where one might wear each item.
Partner: cravate
You: formal dinner

Cest toi! What genre (kind) of books do you like to read? Decide if you prefer mysteries,
adventure stories, science fiction, or other kinds of stories. Your teacher will designate a
corner or another spot in your classroom as a discussion area for a particular genre.
Go to the place that represents your favorite kind of reading. Pair up with a partner.
Each of you tells the other: 1. why you like these books; 2. the name of the last book of
this kind you read; 3. the author; and 4. a brief description of the plot. Then join the
other students in your corner and make a list of all your favorite titles. Put this list on
the bulletin board and give it a genre title.
